Chapter 667: The Light of the Sky
"I don't know if you believe it or not, in fact, I am more optimistic about the future SUV market, especially high-end luxury SUV models, in the rapid development of the automobile market in the Celestial Empire, this model will be especially popular, especially more and more wealthy people. They like such big models, I came to the Celestial Empire, so I know better than you where the market is, although the Celestial Empire government has invested a lot of money in infrastructure construction over the years, but in many places the transportation facilities are still not very perfect, in addition to the increasingly developed logistics industry in recent years, resulting in a lot of large trucks, will be crushed by the newly paved road. So those who have money, don't like their ass to suffer, in this case, large SUVs with high passability will become more and more popular in that market. ”
After Jin Xiaoqiang pulled his thoughts back from Land Rover and Mazda, he explained to Mark and Nick with a smile, because according to the understanding of these two people, you must know that in addition to the United States, in other parts of the world, especially in developed and wealthy regions like Western Europe, SUV models have become more and more unpopular with people.
The reason is also very simple, in fact, after a simple calculation, people found that even if you have a family hatchback, it is difficult to fill it with people, and most of the time people who have a car will choose to drive alone or in pairs, and this is actually a waste of space in the car.
The paved road conditions in Europe are very good, so there is generally no need for off-road vehicles with high passability, and even if people need to travel as a family, MPV models or station wagons can better meet people's travel needs, so it is actually a waste to buy large SUVs with large volume and high fuel consumption.
However, they didn't know about the market of the Celestial Empire, but where Jin Xiaoqiang came from, he knew the situation of the paved roads well.
Although in recent years, the government has been increasing investment in infrastructure construction, especially in the road repair link, which is not a small investment, but on the one hand, there are many corners cut during road construction, and secondly, because there are many overloaded trucks running on the road, so many newly built roads, it will not take long to be pressed into the ravines.
The newly rising rich people will never drive a car to take such a road, first, such a road is difficult to drive and unsafe, and second, driving a car to take such a bad road, which will seriously affect the comfort of driving.
Therefore, the wealthy people of the Celestial Empire buy large luxury SUVs, not only in the consideration of face, face is indeed very important, but sometimes such SUV cars are indeed very practical.
Therefore, in the future Celestial Empire market, SUV models, whether they are luxury high-end goods or low-cost civilian goods, will be very popular with consumers.
Therefore, in this era of more and more segmented markets, Jin Xiaoqiang has to make some preparations in advance, especially for an internationally renowned brand like Land Rover, he not only has quite a lot of fans in the Celestial Empire, but also has a lot of fans around the world.
After hearing Jin Xiaoqiang's explanation, Mark and Nick also felt a lot relieved, after all, this statement is very reasonable.
It is true that the growth of the Celestial Empire market in recent years has been very significant, but unfortunately the Americans reacted relatively late, and Ford's share in the Celestial Empire market has not been high because of the older models and the technology launch.
Although GM is better than Ford in this regard, it has lost a lot of market share in the past two years under the competition of German, Japanese and Huayang Power because of the lack of attention to details in the past, and because of the high fuel consumption of American cars, although the price is very low.
In addition, GM and Ford have been unable to protect themselves in the past two years, so they have neglected the detailed investigation of the Celestial Empire market, so the two of them really don't know much about the development of the Celestial Empire market now. …,
So in Nick's villa, Jin Xiaoqiang gave Nick and Mark a rough introduction to the development of the Celestial Empire's automobile industry and the current division of the Celestial Empire's automobile market.
Although it was only a general introduction, it took about two hours, and when he finished speaking, he found that it was already more than eleven o'clock in the evening, so Jin Xiaoqiang hurriedly apologized to the two.
But fortunately, these two people are also professionals in the automotive industry, listening to Jin Xiaoqiang explain the market of the Celestial Empire, but also listening to it with relish, after all, in the future, they will all go to work in Huayang Power, so at this time, it is appropriate to listen to the future boss face-to-face, and the two of them are also willing to eat, and they do not feel irritable.
Mark said goodbye to Jin Xiaoqiang and Nick and went home directly, while Jin Xiaoqiang stayed in Nick's villa again for one night, after all, it was not the first time he came to Nick's house, so he was relatively familiar with this place.
However, this night because of the excitement of the communication with Nick and Mark, Jin Xiaoqiang was not in a hurry to sleep, he lay on the bed and took his notebook and began to communicate with domestic engineers.
His questions are still focused on the models that are currently being tested on the road and will be unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show this year.
As long as these three sports cars are unveiled on the market, then Huayang Power has completed a very thorough leap, and they have become a big factory that can manufacture all from family cars to SUVs and supercars.
Second, these three sports cars are actually a demonstration of Huayang Power's manufacturing capabilities.
You must know that building a sports car is not the same as building an ordinary family car, and manufacturing this kind of car often requires a very high technical content, and the company that has the ability to manufacture such a model can truly be called a world-class automobile factory.
This is also why for so many years, although South Korea's Hyundai models have been bought well in the world, and they have been able to squeeze into the top ten of the world's car companies, but when it comes to real manufacturers, they have been scorned by consumers.
Even in the hearts of many people, South Korea's Hyundai has bought a lot of cars, but their status is even lower than that of the relatively low-key Mitsubishi of Japan and Fuji Heavy Industries in the eyes of people who know cars.
Because these two manufacturers can make a series of supercars with excellent performance, but South Korea's Hyundai, even if they haven't figured out their coolpad yet.
Although these three supercars this year are the main models of Huayang Power, in terms of other models, Huayang Power is not without investment at all.
For example, the sedan was developed based on Ford's 2013 Mondeo, which has been defined as a high-end luxury sedan.
This product Jin Xiaoqiang has named him Skyrim series products!
Although they currently have Qoros series products, and the Qoros series of products are indeed good instructions and have high technical content, compared with the really high-end Mercedes-Benz and BMW, this product series is the level of entry-level and low-end products.
There is still a gap with Mercedes-Benz's S600 and BMW's Seven Series!
So in order to make up for the gap in this real top business sedan, Jin Xiaoqiang decided to launch this model that he named Skylight.
The 2013 Mondeo was modeled after the 2013 Mondeo, but this car completely subverted the previous concept of the Ford Mondeo, because the car is very reminiscent of the famous Aston just by looking at the appearance. Martin.
In fact, a considerable part of the designers of this car are indeed from the original Aston. Martin's design team. …,
So this car is just a shape, it will easily remind people of luxury, these two words!
And the other thing that is most reassuring is that this car is actually the new Aston launched after 2008. Martin's appearance is very similar, but now Aston. Martin is still in the process of being discontinued!
So Jin Xiaoqiang doesn't have to worry at all, he is accused of plagiarism.
The current market defines whether a car is a good car, first of all, it depends on whether it has a beautiful appearance?
This concept has been brought to the world by Jin Xiaoqiang, and it has been brought to the extreme, so the designers of other automobile companies in the world are all influenced by Jin Xiaoqiang and are following this trend.
So this car is enough to earn enough eyeballs just by its appearance.
And the other most critical point is that a luxury car, you must have a powertrain worthy of your net worth, for now, this car's competitors in the market, such as Mercedes-Benz S600, or BMW's Seven Series, as well as Audi's A8 and other level models, are generally equipped with V8 or V10 engines above 4.5L.
And on this Skylight, Jin Xiaoqiang has planned to install the 5.0L V8 engine he copied from Ford's 2013 Mustang Viper.
This engine now doesn't even need to add any turbo or supercharger to sweep all the large displacement engines on the market today.
Whether it is BMW's V8 or Audi's W12, the current data of these engines, in front of the data of this engine, are just scum.
What's more, this bare metal with nothing is just the equipment of this entry-level model of the Skyrim Light series, if you want to buy a more advanced Skyrim Light product, hehe, the TVS supercharger, but it has been prepared for a long time.
Soon you will see the TFSI system that Audi is proud of in later generations, but this time the engine equipped with this system will have a higher displacement......
So don't look at the supercars this year are the key development objects of Huayang Power, but in Jin Xiaoqiang's heart, in fact, it is this product of Skyline Light that is more important, because only it can show the quality of Huayang Power in the high-end market!
